    Linux kernel source tree

  • Great progress already thanks to the PongoOS project and the early support for M1 linux project. [0][1]

    Getting GPU acceleration is now the real challenge.

    State of Linux on the MacBook Pro 2016 & 2017

  • Agreed. Check out the state of Linux on Intel Macs that were released in and after 2016[1], it's abysmal. Once Apple started adding non-standard hardware, Linux support never caught up.

    It isn't like the lack of support is Linux developers' fault. Apple doesn't provide datasheets for their hardware, and they don't cooperate with developers writing drivers for their custom hardware.

    There are hundreds, if not thousands, of ARM SoCs that "run Linux", but that doesn't mean much because they're actually running a Linux fork, and someone needs to maintain that fork, and build and release custom images for each SoC. I don't see M1 Macs diverting from a similar fate without significant support from Apple themselves.
